OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Welcome browns57!!! Yes that is probably true, but that is definately ok:) How is your son doing? If he plans it right he can probably come home for Christmas!! I'm pretty sure the school closes for x# of days for the holiday, Chris came home and I'm not even sure if he had to use leave time. He is on deployment right now in Qatar and will be home in (as he is counting lol) 44 days. Home to Jax, FL, he is stationed on an air base. His job as LS is ordering parts for the planes mechanics. Does yhour son know yet what he will be doing?

Hi all I am new to this group. My son arrived in Meridan 3 weeks ago tomorrow. So I guess he wont actually be an LS until he finishes A school.

I know jealousy will get me know where but I am and not ashamed of it one bit lol. You two being with your sons, and mine so far away??? So not fair!! (And now I sound like a 12 year old haha ). I am happy for you both:)
!ecky, what were you saying about the LS rate being different? Just because he's going to be in another country? I am still learning new things every day.
Chris is now "over the hump" (as Jennifer would say lol) he only has 2 more months to go, and I am going to be there when he gets off the plane and cannot wait!
Not a whole lot new here, our penny swallower just had her 2nd bday and she is cute as ever:)
And I still only have my phone for the internet, never again!!!
Hope all is well for everyone, talk soon!!

Becky I think we'll have to get goggles and swim fins for that trip lol!
And Chris has his cell set up for skype w/out having to pay for it, he suspends his contract before he goes but has a way of using skype thru it. Lol don't ask me as I have no idea.
And I got an email today saying he got his pkg and the mail is finally straightened out just in time for them to go back to Quatar.....go figure.
AND he said now its 99 percent they WILL be moving to NAS Oceania in Virgiana Beachh, which is a huge yaaaahoooo for them and me!
I am planning a trip back to Ireland next year so no Japan for me but maybe the following year????
